290 mining rig

[Hoffman]

I have four-five Sapphire 290's I would like to get rid of, depending if I decide to keep one for my PC.  Along with a 1600w Coolmax ZPS-1600B modular power supply and 990F-XA-UD7 Gigabyte motherboard with AMD FX 4130 3.8Ghz quad-core processor and 2x 2GB memory.  Will include PCI-E extenders for the cards and a power supply compiler if you need them.  Hard drive not included.

Cards get 830-840 khash stock.  Temps were generally around 70 degrees C, lower when it was cold.

Has been hashing around a month on and off.

Sold five 290's to chanberg if anyone would like a reference.

Start bids at 2 BTC ($1680 @ 840 per coin) for the four plus mobo, ram, psu and cables.  Original packaging included.



Thank you.

Sorry but as these are used items, I don't realistically think they are worth this much (no offense).

I would absolutely be interested to take them but it would have to be at 1.6BTC through escrow (not negotiable.)

[Hoffman]

Updated price.

You say in the ad that you're including risers, and that your temps were around 70. Why in the pic are the cards sitting directly on the mobo? I've been running 6 290s since november, and 70 degrees is difficult to achieve for me when I'm using risers.

[Hoffman]

They're in a cool environment and I have spare risers laying around.

All but one are currently running under 70 degrees.

What was the fan setting at? My 290 card was only hashing at 820KH/s and fan was at 90%, sounded like a freaking jet turbine, and temp was hitting 85c...

[-droid-]

willing to sell 2 of the cards by themselves?

[Hoffman]

Fan runs at 85%.

Prefer to sell the whole rig though you can make an offer.

[nairb131]

Is it four or five 290s

[riggityroche]

During the month you've been mining, have the cards been sitting on the mobo like in the pic? or connected via risers? and if they've been connected via risers, why are they sitting on the mobo in the pic?

[KWH]

Please use escrow, protect yourself.

Jesus Christ... 5 290 at 85% fan? Must sound like REALLY loud.

At one point I had the risers on all of them.  Then I took them off later since they performed cool without them.

They're not too loud, don't get me wrong, they are a bit loud, but I've had a server that was way louder.

Current bid is 2.0 BTC + shipping.

How long is the auction?

[Hoffman]

One more day probably.

Current bid is 2.2 + shipping.

I forgot to mention, AMD FX 4130 3.8Ghz quad-core CPU included in mobo.

[boerse29]

I give you 2.4 BTC + shipping for the rig. Deal?

[Clayce]

Is this an auction? If so whats the end time?

And do you have any factory boxes for the 290s? Also any boxes for the PSU, MB?

[joeventura]

Are you in the U.S.

Is this sold yet?

[Hoffman]

Highest bid 2.4 + shipping, will give this one more day due to my inactiveness.

[Clayce]

Is this (4) 290s or (5) 290s? Also you say you have all the original boxes right?

[Hoffman]

4, all original boxes included.

I may have to take the heatsink off the CPU though if you want it in the box, so you'll need thermal gel probably.

Alright and escrow??

[Vagnavs]

2.5 with escrow. Just let me know

[Hoffman]

Clayce just bid 2.5 prior to yours via pm.  Escrow is fine.

[Vagnavs]

okay. 2.6 with escrow. Or deal done.

[twistedtrick]

When is this auction going to be over? I want to bid but I don't understand what time this finishes.

[Hoffman]

Will likely end tonight depending on if I am available to ship these before the weekend.  Current bid is 2.7 + shipping.

[Clayce]

So is this 'auction' ended with my bid? Im ready to pay with escrow if its shipped monday...let me know.
